You know me. I’m never really starved for words. I can run on and on and on at length about whatever because I excel at the gentle art of bullshit, but this trailer had me on my knees. I don’t know what to say. That is, I don’t know what to say that will make any kind of sense. I could sit here and slap the keyboard with my open hand as some kind of accurate, albeit abstract, expression of my enthusiasm but what we need here is a concrete narrative that describes my actual feelings about the trailer that you’re about to watch.
Know this: It has samurai. It has ninjas. The ninjas flip out. People fight with swords and it all looks really feudal and Japanese. But get this; there are space ships and missiles and a lot of other anachronistic stuff that seems perfectly at home in what looks like a sweet chanbara filtered through the sensibilities of a young music video director. All of this is coming from Irish director, Gary Shore.

Normally I despise overly stylized CG movies because they normally turn into pretentious piles of shit but damn that looks cool and I must be the only one left on the planet that thinks ninjas are awesome.
Good or bad I think I could have at the very least have fun watching this movie and not to many movies anymore are actually fun. With the exception of Grindhouse which the best movie going experince I have had in oh, 15 years or more.

Yeah, this looks like it could be a case of style over substance, but at the same time those ninjas are so fast they have fucking speed lines coming off them.
I’d watch it.
